Debbie shares her unique story of loss in recounting a failed adoption of a little girl they planned for, prayed for, and longed to bring into their family. She shares her anticipation, joy, and dreams that died when this little girl ultimately did not come into their home.
On this podcast, we believe that sharing stories of loss can help provide solidarity, comfort, and hope for listeners who may have experiences a similar situation.
Every story of loss is precious and deserves to be heard and held.
